We Remain Committed.
The PPMC has given thought to how or what we can do to be part of the solution of change for equity and inclusion. We ask ourselves, "What is our role in helping organizations and communities address systemic racism, exclusion and inequity? How do we help move beyond words of outrage to actions of impact?" The short answer is we are not sure AND we are committed to figuring it out.

- Start Young: By 3 months, children notice physical differences. Use this as an opportunity for early education about race and the value of being different from one another.
- Books: Books are always a good tool to teach children, and this is no exception.
- Play: Toys, art, and music aren't just fun, they're also educational.
- Set an Example: Children learn and create biases based on your behavior and bring them into the world.
- Talk About It: Advocacy is your responsibility for the children in your life.
